The Cell Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media, GMP, is designed to support the expansion of human bone marrow-, adipose tissue- or umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Cell Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media, GMP, is prepared without nonhuman components or phenol red. It is suitable for culturing and expansion of MSCs without the need to supplement with FBS. When used under appropriate conditions, this media demonstrates higher performance than FBS containing media without affecting the phenotype of the cultured cells. Performance is based on cell counts and viability. Benefits of this growth media:
- Xeno-Free, Serum-Free & without Phenol Red
- Additional supplementation with serums not required
- Able to support and maintain MSC expansion
- Manufactured in a GMP facility according to USP <1043>
BioLegend Cell-Vive™ GMP cell culture products are manufactured and tested in accordance with USP Chapter 1043, Ancillary Materials for Cell, Gene and Tissue- Engineered Products and Ph. Eur. Chapter 5.2.12 in a dedicated GMP facility compliant with ISO 13485:2016. Specifications and processes include
- Low endotoxin level (< 1 EU/mL)
- Mycoplasma and bacterial/fungal growth testing
- Batch-to-batch consistency
- Vendor qualification
- Raw material traceability and documentation
- Documented procedures and employee training
- Equipment maintenance and monitoring records
- Lot-specific certificates of analysis
- QA review of released products
- Quality audits per ISO 13485:2016

- Recommended Usage
-
Cell-Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media, GMP is a completed medium that is ready to use. Suggested cell seeding density of 6,000 cells/cm2 when used to support MSC expansion.
- Application Notes
-
This product is a complete media formulation that is ready to use for culturing bone marrow-, adipose tissue- or umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. It can be used without any cell attachment. However, pending on the tissue sourced MSCs, recombinant human fibronectin (Cat#775314) can be used to further optimize the expansion.
The presence of trace precipitation in the product after thaw is normal and relates to the high enrichment of the product and should not impact its performance. The precipitates should go into solution after warming up the media in 37°C water bath or equivalent, or if desired, precipitates can be removed through 0.22 µm filtration of the media without impacting its performance.
Cell Culture Platform:
Cell-Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media, GMP can be used with tissue culture plates, and flasks. Further protocol optimization is recommended with the specific bioreactor being used.
MSC culture from cryopreserved human MSCs:
- Thaw media overnight or longer until fully thawed at 2-8°C.
- Pre-warm planned volume of completed thawed with Cell-Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media to 37°C.
- Rapidly thaw frozen vial of cells in a 37°C water bath. After the vial is 80-90% thawed, pipet the entire contents of the cryovial into a 15 mL conical tube. Carefully add 5 to 10 mL of pre-warmed Cell-Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media at an approximate rate of three to five drops per ten seconds and gently swirl after every addition.
- After brief mixing, centrifuge the 15 mL conical tubes at 1500 rpm for 5 min. Decant (or aspirate) the supernatant. Add 2 mL or desired volume of pre-warmed Cell-Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media, gently mix the cells with a sterile 1 mL serological pipette. Count the cells and viability with hemocytometer, or equivalent.
- Resuspend cells and seed MSCs at 6,000 cells/cm2 density. Incubate the cells at 37°C, 5% CO2. Aspirate off media and feed the cells with pre-warmed Cell-Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media 24 hours after seeding.
- Every two days, remove and discard spent media, and feed the cells with pre-warmed Cell-Vive™ MSC Xeno-Free Growth Media
- Subculture cells once they reach 80% confluence. Do not allow the cultures to become 100% or over confluent. Subculturing under suboptimal conditions may affect product performance.
